Autocrosszby Oali24Chaptersprologuechapter 1chapter 2 (edited)prologueIt was the early hours of the morning in Ponyville, the time of day that some people were awake but most people still lay asleep; it was the time before the sun would break over the horizon, but the sky had transitioned to a deep, light, blue; The only noises were that of farmponies feeding their goats, salesponies had reached their stores and were setting up for the new day. The only sounds beyond the ordinary could be heard near the school and castle of friendship as the noises of somepony doing paperwork could be faintly heard. Twilight sparkle was shuffling through paperwork, she had made it through most of the year as headmaster, and looked forward to the following morning when the Easter break would start, the students would be sent away for a while, and she could hang out with her friends more. As she tirelessly went through the all-important paperwork that kept the school running, her secretary spike, with his wings, flew in as he landed next to her, over the months, Spike’s wings had turned to become ordinary, what would have to Spike been a long off dream had happened, so it was surprising how routine it had become so quickly: spike handed Twilight another batch of paperwork, saying whether or not the parents of the students had given consent for the students to stay at the school or to go home with them over the Easter break; the purple dragon turned and said “Well that’s the final batch isn’t it? It’s going to be great to relax with the rest, and have it be like the old days, you know, before the school, castle or even you becoming an Alicorn. Those days when we just had to worry about simply learning friendship, and not teaching it?” “I miss those days too spike. But we can’t live in the past, but we still can have fun with the rest of the gang, and pretend it was still that time.” Twilight said with a heavy sigh, and she then went to push her seal of approval on the last of some mundane piece of paper, and then cracked a large smile of relief as she told spike jubilantly “that’s it for work, it’s finally the break for us!” and then went on to hug Spike. Elsewhere in the Library…. In a quiet corner of the Library, Starlight Glimmer, Twilight’s former pupil, now friendship councilor, had been doing some late night reading, she generally had trouble sleeping on occasion, she actually missed her solid carpet of a “bed” from our town, complete totalitarianism could make one’s butt uncomfortable sometimes; she missed her old bed because it felt familiar. Anyway, she had been reading a book about kites, she was going to go with her friend Maud pie and fly kites together, like Twilight Sparkle, she had lots of paperwork over the course of the school year until that point, and was ready to finally relax with her friends Trixie and Discord. As she went on, reading in the quiet chamber, she sensed a faint amount of magic, being a unicorn she could hear, see and generally sense magic better than Pegasi or Earth ponies. She then got up and went to see what it was. She cast a spell and concentrated her magic into her horn to form a lighting spell, and she then clopped through the dark corridors with a steady beat to her hooves hitting the floor. Nothing had seemed out of the ordinary, and as she turned to leave, somewhat unnerved, she froze in shock. In front of her, was a gaping hole, that had not been there before, it had a staircase leading down, she then went to inspect the secret room, but not without preparing a shield spell. She went inside and stared into the deep, dark, dank and destroyed room; ‘This is very abnormal’ Starlight Glimmer thought to herself as she clopped further down the staircase, she then reached several bookshelves and on a stand in the middle of the room, she saw a large, leather bound book. She took it, and took it upstairs, ‘I’ll tell Twilight about this tomorrow’ she thought, since the book had posed no threat, but she still made sure to take the liberty to seal off that part of the library. She then went to bed, somewhat unnerved. Several hours later The following morning, it was almost noon, Twilight had said goodbye to her students and wished them all a happy Easter, she was tired and couldn’t wait to finish with them, they were great students, most of them were, but they could be a real handful sometimes. She then trotted back to the friendship castle happily, but before she reached the castle she saw that Starlight was trying to get her attention, when Twilight finally got back, Starlight said: “I found something weird last night.” and then showed her the book. Twilight carefully inspected the book “quite an old book I see” she directed the comment to Starlight. As she began to wonder whether there was anything special about it, she then stopped and almost dropped the book in shock, it had a date reading to over 3000 moons, the language was in a form of old Ponish so old, that it was even before Starswirl lived, it was from a time that the only ‘long living’ that would still be alive would be Draconequui such as discord would still be alive that day today. Any Alicorns from that time period would be dead, it was in a time of political frenzy, as this was in the period when Draconequui, and all pony races were coming together as one to form a new society, the first advanced society of its time. This was an amazing find, she then ecstatically said to Starlight “It’s from the equuthisthyian period!” which led to a similar reaction from Starlight. This was unbelievable, she had to get the rest of the mane 6. chapter 1“What is it Twilight?” Rainbow dash moaned at her after her sleep was interrupted. “I’ll tell you when we find the rest of the gang” said Twilight, and so they went finding everyone they could, it had turned out that Pinkie Pie had left Ponyville on personal business, but they found the rest of the mane 6 quite easily. Once they were all rounded up, she took them to the castle. The castle was quite quiet with all the students gone and in the early morning, not much would be happening at that time of day. As they reached the castle she explained “Starlight found a book in a hidden part of the library, and get this: it’s from the equuthisthyian period!” The mane 6 looked in shock at her. “Are ya sure?” Applejack asked almost skeptically. “definitely! The date goes back to over 3000 moons ago” she answered. “Well then, wow, I’m speechless at this discovery” Applejack said. The rest of the Mane 6 was also speechless. “now let’s get to it, then” Twilight said, they then went into the castle and Twilight called spike to get the book, which he did as he flew in with the book in his claws. “Here you go Twilight” spike said “I’ll now take my lunch break if you don’t mind.” “Sure, go ahead” the dragon’s master said. Spike then promptly left the room. “anyway girls, I have been looking at the book and it shows that it was stored long before the tree of harmony was grown, this was part of ancient pony ruins, although not our kind of pony, this was before the Windigos froze the ancient pony homeland, this was a different race of ponies that would eventually assimilate into pony culture, but this was the time when Draqonequui ruled over most of Equus, they were the first beings to learn to write, so these are likely their ruins” Twilight was explaining, she then turned to Fluttershy “To find out more, I need you Fluttershy” “You want me to get Discord, Twilight?” she asked, Twilight then nodded back at her. Fluttershy proceeded to get Discord’s attention. After a minute Discord then appeared out of nowhere, and asked “what is it do you want from me? Fluttershy?” he asked. “We found a book that’s from the equuthisthyian period, could you help us read it?” Fluttershy requested from Discord. “wow, you actually found something that old? Well then of course I could help” He said, he then went to the book and began reading it, after a half hour he called the mane 6 back and told them “It’s a book of spells, they all involve interdimensional travel, to activate them you’d need to put them on an object with a strong magical aura, like a unicorn’s horn, a Pegasus’s wings, an earth pony’s hooves, or any object that uses magic to work” he told them. “Farewell for now, I’ll see you later this week Fluttershy,” he then disappeared, going back to his dimension. “Well then, let’s make sure we don’t do anything that could activate the spells we need to make sure that we first study them” Twilight proclaimed. “You’re right darling, we all remember what happened when we brought back Starswirl from limbo” Rarity said in agreement, the rest of the mane 6 also agreed. Starlight then came and asked everyone what had happened with the book, Twilight explained to her what had happened and she then also agreed with her that they had to study the spells first; These spells could be quite dangerous if they weren’t studied at all, they all had the pony of shadows incident in their head as they looked at the spells, although the text was too old to easily be able to read, there were diagrams, as they looked through other books for translation, they had neglected to move the book away from the map table, they had forgotten that the table had a lot of magic, and the book was on a nearby shelf. As they looked through, Spike flew in and not seeing the book, bumped into the book, and as the mane 6 and Starlight took notice, they all screamed “no!!!! Spike, look out!” but it was too late for spike to take heed of their warning, and the book fell on the table. It took a few seconds for much to happen, and right as they had a sigh of relief. The magical aura in the room spiked and the room became quite hot, and when they turned to look at the book; the book became charged with a rainbow of different colours, Starlight had enough sense to grab the book, they would probably need where they were going; then, things went quiet, the mane 6 that were there, Spike and Starlight, looked at each other unsure of what was going to happen; and then, the room exploded in a frenzy of light as they were sucked into a different dimension, Spike and Starlight grabbed on to each other, and so did rarity with Applejack and Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy. They all hung on, unsure of what was to come. John was a car guy, he loved cars from a young age, all his shirts had something car related on it, his favourite car was his old Volvo 240 turbo, he loved that car, it was a sedan, everyone wanted the wagons and neglected to remember the sedan, he preferred the sedan over the wagon, he thought that the sedan looked nicer. It was a later model from 1989, and he loved it, he liked the ride, noise and relaxed nature it made him feel, on a warm April morning he was getting ready to change some of the old transmission fluid; he kept his cars very well maintained; as he went to the car, he noticed that something had opened the door, and as he went to the car, he noticed that there were hoof steps? They were on the cloth seats and had dirtied parts of the interior, understandably annoyed he called “Who did this prank one me?” into the distance, he then noticed something moving on the other side of the car, whatever it was, it had gone underneath the car, he looked down, not knowing what to expect as his annoyance turned to curiosity and as he looked underneath he saw, a purple pastel equine, as they made eye contact, they simultaneously started screaming, “what the hell?!” he screamed, as the Pastel equine continued screaming. chapter 2 (edited)It took about a minute more of screaming before John punched the pony in the face, which made it more agitated so he then got a shovel and hit the pony over the head with it, it stopped screaming, and went unconscious. He pulled the pony which was surprisingly heavy given its small size and bizarre appearance, he didn’t know what to do, he thought that he might have killed it while he panicked, so he put the pony in his car and drove to a nearby river. Once he got there, he was going to throw it in to the creek, as he was about to do the deed, he heard the creature make a moaning sound, it was clearly a feminine moan, he paused; not knowing what to do with the poor equine he had hit over the head, he thought that he had killed it, but now that it turned out to be alive he didn't know what to do, he couldn't just kill another living creature just like that, then he began to feel an intense heat coming from behind him and he then smelt the odour of burning cloth. He looked behind himself and screamed as he noticed his clothes on fire, and behind himself was, a purple dragon with wings. He put down the pony and jumped into the creek as the small dragon flew and hovered over him. As John looked in shock at the dragon above him, the dragon spoke, it sounded like a teenager’s voice and it said to him in a dangerous voice “hand’s, off, Starlight!” and blew a large ball of fire out of his mouth, John scrambled to get to the riverbank and when he did, he saw the dragon pull the pony with him into the air and fly off, but right as they got a few metres away, there was a flash of coloured light and the two creatures both then fell to the ground. He went over to them, the equine had gotten a black eye and was moaning even more, the dragon was unconscious with a look of pain etched into his face, and as they both woke up John began to run away, towards the car, but before he could get his keys out he saw a light purple aura surrounding him he then felt himself being lifted into the air as he saw the purple pony staring at him with a look of anger and resentment, she then said, almost growling “who are you?” “the real question is, who and what are you?” John replied defiantly, he may have appeared unfazed, but he was wetting his pants with fear of what would happen to him. “my name is Starlight Glimmer and I’m a unicorn, and this is Spike and he’s a dragon.” Starlight Glimmer answered John “Now answer my question.” “My name is John, I’m a human, you probably don’t know what that is,” John told Starlight “Actually, I do, this is a different Human world from the one we know, but Humans are in different dimensions,” Starlight corrected John. “What are you gonna do to me now?” asked John. “we want you to take that machine back to your house with us” Starlight told John. “you mean the Volvo?” John asked, confused about what she meant. “Is that what the machine is called?” Starlight then asked John. “No, it’s called a car but the marque is Volvo” John explained to Starlight. “Oh, okay then, let’s get into this “car”” she put car in air quotes. The three of them got into the car, it was a coupe so John attempted to move the seat forward for Spike, but before he could, Spike flew between the seat into the back seat. John didn’t know how quadrupedal Starlight would get into the back seat, but Starlight could sit down in a seat just fine. He then instructed them on how to wear a seatbelt, he told them to grip the belt on the C and D-pillar, Starlight kind of just wrapped it around her hoof, and pull it to the securing point to form a belt shape around their waist and around their shoulders and chests, and to then finally push the metal part into the securing point until it made a click noise. Starlight then asked John, “What was the point of this so called seatbelt?” “to keep your body strapped into the seat in a crash, so you don’t fly out of your seat and kill yourself,” John then explained. “That seems farfetched” Starlight said. “It really isn’t, here, have a look” he got out a phone and showed her a video, in the video, a car propels itself into a barrier and crumples, a human effigy in the car hits its head and shatters the glass, while the belted human effigy stays unharmed. “Okay then, I’ve changed my mind” Starlight said. John then started the car and drove away. Somewhere else… Stephan had taken a love for Saabs at a young age, he loved the 9-5 his family had had, it was a convertible model, and he had loved riding in it as a kid with the top down, he had read many different car magazines, and was extremely sad when Saab went bankrupt in 2012. After many nights of scouring the internet, he found a good condition, normal Saab 900 turbo, not an SPG/Aero sadly, those would’ve been far too expensive and rare. He took care of it lovingly, he had the oil changed out often, and gave the car a professional paintjob and detailed it often. He had just gotten back from a car meet. He enjoyed telling people about the car, he was going to go to bed, but right before he did he saw something moving near it, he then went down to see what it was, it was early in the morning, so no one was out at the time, Stephan got a torch and went down to the garage to inspect nothing seemed amiss, until he saw a figure in the dark, not knowing what it was he went to see, thinking it was a dog or some other animal, but as he did, the creature flew over him and he saw it in the light, It was a Pegasus with a unicorn’s horn, It was dark purple and had very dark purple hair and tail it then flew away but right as it got several metres away, there was a bright flash of light and it fell to the ground, Stephan had no idea what to do, he wasn’t particularly scared by it, mostly shocked, so he went to it very carefully, and then the creature got up and spoke, “where am I?” it said. “you’re in the human world,” Stephan told the creature. “could you please help me?” the creature told Stephan, “and by the way, my name is Twilight sparkle,” “and my name is Stephan, and sure I’ll help you,” Stephan told Twilight. Author's Note I edited this chapter after some of you commented that John was acting like a murderer, I added more clarification that he didn't mean to kill starlight, just knock her out, but he thought that he did accidentally kill her.

He enjoyed telling people about the car, he was going to go to bed, but right before he did he saw something moving near it, he then went down to see what it was, it was early in the morning, so no one was out at the time, Stephan got a torch and went down to the garage to inspect nothing seemed amiss, until he saw a figure in the dark, not knowing what it was he went to see, thinking it was a dog or some other animal, but as he did, the creature flew over him and he saw it in the light, It was a Pegasus with a unicorn’s horn, It was dark purple and had very dark purple hair and tail it then flew away but right as it got several metres away, there was a bright flash of light and it fell to the ground, Stephan had no idea what to do, he wasn’t particularly scared by it, mostly shocked, so he went to it very carefully, and then the creature got up and spoke, “where am I?” it said. “you’re in the human world,” Stephan told the creature. “could you please help me?” the creature told Stephan, “and by the way, my name is Twilight sparkle,” “and my name is Stephan, and sure I’ll help you,” Stephan told Twilight. Author's Note I edited this chapter after some of you commented that John was acting like a murderer, I added more clarification that he didn't mean to kill starlight, just knock her out, but he thought that he did accidentally kill her.
